Hello friends! It’s been a while since I’ve po

Hello friends! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I think it’s because I’ve been battling a lot of anxiety lately. While self-isolation is nothing new for me (thanks, Crohn’s! 👍😂), there’s the new added stress of being in the “high-risk” category and trying to avoid exposure to the virus, all while scrambling to find my regular necessities, food and medical supplies during this time (not just for myself but for my other high-risk family members). My symptoms are exacerbated with stress, and the last thing I want is to end up in the hospital and take up a bed that someone else will need. Meanwhile, for some reason, I’ve been more busy than ever (oh, how I long to be one of those bored people who make and post TikTok videos all day 😩).
.
.
But whenever I’m starting to feel overwhelmed, I’m able to gain some perspective when I think about all the healthcare workers and on the front lines, as well as all the essential workers (first responders, and grocery store workers, delivery workers, etc.) who are working feverishly to keep us all safe, healthy, and functioning as normally as possible. My thanks goes out to all of you in those categories, and well as to my friends and family who have offered us help with shopping and groceries during this time.
.
.
And I’m also grateful to those of you who are not necessarily high-risk but are taking all of this seriously by social distancing and sheltering in place. As a chronic illness warrior, I thank you!
.
.
Prayers and love to everyone struggling with anxiety or trying to make sense of this pandemic. The unknown is scary, but I find comfort in knowing there are so many caring people out there and the fact that we’re all in this together. 🙏🏻❤️

Who’s in the mood for chocolate dipped strawberries? 🙋🏻‍♀️
.
.
These are so easy to make and require only three ingredients: chocolate, coconut oil and of course, strawberries! .
.
I especially love using @equalexchange chocolate chips because they are allergen-friendly: soy-free and dairy-free plus organic and fair trade (not to mention immensely delicious)! Bonus: this recipe is both Paleo and vegan (I.e. sure to please just about everyone). ❤️

It’s #NationalPeanutButterDay, so naturally I’m sharing my *alternative* to peanut butter cookies: Paleo and vegan-friendly Sunbutter Cookies!
.
.
These delicious treats are about as allergen-friendly as it gets — nut-free, grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free, coconut-free, and refined sugar-free. But you’d never know it because they’re super yummy! They’re always a hit with all my non-Paleo friends and family. .

The Many Faces of Crohn’s: it’s #CrohnsandColi

The Many Faces of Crohn’s: it’s #CrohnsandColitisAwarenessWeek which makes it a good time to talk about living with Crohn’s disease. .
.
From the prednisone “moon” face to being thin and gaunt to everything in between, there is no one way that we patients “wear” our disease. In fact, much of the time, we probably look perfectly “normal” or healthy on the outside. We learn to smile even when we’re in pain, weak, or terribly fatigued. We push through each day, trying to hide most of the symptoms that plague us. Crohn’s is an invisible illness that can reach far beyond digestive symptoms. Some of us also battle joint pain (and other types of pain), skin issues, extreme fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, anxiety, and depression.
.
.
For almost 18 years, I’ve been a #Crohnie. When conventional meds started to fail me years ago, I started to explore the healing power of nutrition. While not a cure, it’s helped me when meds couldn’t. I’ve endured numerous hospitalizations and surgeries, including two partial colectomies, one seton placement, and a total colectomy/ileostomy with a proctectomy to follow. In between, I’ve had obstructions, infections, abscesses, fistula, and some devastating and even life-threatening side effects to meds like Remicade, Humira, prednisone, and mercaptopurine (6MP).
.
.
Today, I manage my illness with nutrition and other lifestyle modifications. (I still take medication, just no IBD specific meds...I can’t tolerate them and they don’t work for me).
.
.
Every patient handles IBD differently. There is no one-size-fits-all medication or diet. And our needs often change as time goes on. But if there’s anything that IBD patients tend to have in common, it’s strength, tenacity, and compassion for others. Even though it’s a fight everyday, I’m proud to be a part of this community! 💪
